This week, Kate and the beautiful Puddy at "A Byootiful Life" (Australia) are happy to announce that they are hosting Weekend Cat Blogging #106!

To submit your kitty picture(s), you can either leave a message in their blog's comment section (with your permalinks) or contact them via e-mail without forgetting to give all the needed informations.

A very sweet and angel-like Maruschka lying like a princess in the basket.I wish she'd be as cute this all the time, but it's not always the case, unfortunately!Lately she peed and pooed in many different place as a sign of protestation, but against what?I haven't got a clue...For example, last Sunday I took her in my arms and cuddled her and what do you think she did a few minutes later?She found nothing better to do than to dirty her whole basket.I then had to clean all the pillows as well as the floor, grrrrr!Really annoying...

Does anybody know why she behaves in such a manner, although she gets a lot of attention?...

Hiya Maruschka - you're such a princess. On the pee and poo thing, it's quite strange but maybe you shld check with the doctor as she may have trouble controlling her bowel movements hence these little accidents. Don't think she's the kind of cat who will do this on purpose.

ASTRID, KISHIM & OTHELLO: Thanks! I think that the problem is psychological and not physical. Kashim and Maruschka clearly act out of "Trotz", but why? That's the question... I mean, they are both well treated and loved. I guess that they want to tell us something. In fact, I understand my cats perfectly, therefore I know that she does it only to annoy me/us. My question is what makes her do that? Ok, I might have the answer. It's linked to her food obsession...

LAMIACUCCINA: You are right, she's a little imp ;-P! A good way of describing her...

BOO_LICIOUS: Thanks ever so much, Boo! In fact, she has not bowel problems. It is all psychological. In her case, they are NOT accidents, because she does it on purpose! She's very sweet, but she does it to annoy us and show her discontent. Why? I don't know, apart from the fact that it linked to her food obsession...

On the "issue", I agree with the comment to have her checked at the vet's just to make sure it isn't a medical thing. If it isn't the detective-work begins... when exactly did the behavior begin? Ex have you change the catlitter, the placement of the litter boxes, or perhaps new boxes with or without a "roof", any new furniture, new working hours, new food, new friends or family members... I'm sure you have thought about this a lot, but perhaps there's some small detail you haven't thought about yet...

PIA K: Thanks for your comment!In fact, Maruschka has no medical problem. It is all very psychological. By acting so, she tries to annoy us because something isn't as she would like it to be. We thought about all your above mentioned explanations, but none fit her case...
